Nice rooftop terrace and bar; free glass of wine, and good wine at that. Bed had a few questionable stains, but sheets clean. Nice bathroom. Nice vibe, and great for meeting people. Breakfast is almost 4 euros, but excellent. Allowed me to print a boarding pass for free. Overall, really nice hostel and a pleasant stay. If I had been in Berlin longer, I would have happily remained at Wombats

An issue which occurred both mornings we stayed was that the water stopped working in the shower, toilet and basin. We were told this had been the case for weeks which I find unacceptable. Additionally, the provided wifi was, for all intents and purposes, unusable as the connection speed either so slow no pages would load or so unstable pages would partially load at full speed, the connection would drop out and then the page loading would fail from there.

Liked: Our private room had a balcony and a pretty nice and clean bathroom, the location of the hostel was excellent (on a really hip street with cool restaurants and shops), the bar had a long happy hour with one euro beers. Excellent breakfast.
Disliked: No organised activities, receptionists are not very friendly or helpful and can't do basic math to figure out a booking mistake.
Not a party hostel, more like a cheap hotel. Don't go here if you're by yourself looking to make friends.

Great hostel - you must stay here when in Berlin!! It's very close to a train station and a 10-15 min walk to Alexanderplatz, and the staff are very helpful with directions and information about the city. Comfortable beds and a fun bar upstairs which made it easy to meet people. Would definitely return!

Best hostel I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. A mixed group of 5 friends and I stayed in the Wombat Hostel April 2015 and we cannot recommend it enough. It's affordable, modern and friendly!
The location was perfect, close to everything you could need and transport.
Breakfast is available (3 Euro) and bedding/towels are provided plus a complimentary free drink on the roof bar on arrival! The rooms were clean, modern and spacious with plugs and lockers for each person.

Had a very enjoyable stay. I think every hostel should adopt the idea of having a small light fixture and outlet next to each bunk bed - so convenient and nice!
Having clean sheets packed in a sealed plastic bag sounds hygenic and gives peace of mind, but im torn because at the same time it's a bit of a pain to have to put them on yourself. After a long day of travelling, the last thing i want to do is put on all the linen in my bed.
